What makes a great architect?

I said credibiltiy, which I said is established through knowledge and experience. He asked what else? I said also communication, which is part of establishing credibility. I cited a Systems Architecture book which talks about six kinds of diagrams to communicate any architecture. He seemed dumbfounded. I think what he was really after was a something about software development because they are not seeking an architect.
